For your (A)husband is your Maker,
Whose name is the Lord of armies;
And your (B)Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel,
Who is called the (C)God of all the earth.
For the Lord has called you,
Like a wife (D)forsaken and grieved in spirit,
Even like a wife of one’s youth when she is rejected,”
Says your God.

like a wife who has been abandoned and suffers from depression,[c]
like a young wife when she has been rejected,” says your God.
